I hate idle builders. Delaying upgrading your queen is also bad.
Th8 also precludes you from defending your loot effectively.
No need to upgrade troops you don't use or don't plan to use. I wish I never upgraded healers since I don't use them, but I chatted with a guy in global that had 10 in his camps.....he did hog/queen healer raids with his high level queen. To each their own.
All that being said, for war, it is better if you upgrade your core war troops.... a th8 with maxed GoWiPe for th8 is much better for his clan than a weak th9, especially for matchmaking purposes.
Again, I don't do lazy builders, or at least more than one.
But the quicker you start upgrading your queen, the happier you will be. The queen is so important and unless you are going to buy a high level queen, you should move up.

How the hell did you max all your defenses and not get your troops upgraded?
I have 40 skulls left to max and have had all my elixer troops upgraded for over a month. It sounds like you spent so much time th sniping you forgot to actually learn how to properly use your resources.
Just because some will ask, I have bk lvl10, hogs lvl 4, golem lvl 2 and am just going to be finishing minions to lvl 4 before upgrading to th9.
Your problem was poor planning not research time constraints.
I don't know why your technique is so low .I could hardly believe that .
just look at me TH 8 too
if i am you i will wait barbarian archer and giant to level 5 at least then upgrade to TH 9 .
now wait technique !
here is my clash

I'd say move on and upgrade th! no point in waiting to upgrade troops, and when you upgrade to th9 you will not have to use gowipe u can still use dragons...
I think you're fine to go to TH9, as you only barch and could get level 6 barch to improve even more your farming. Personally, I find going to TH9 with level 4 giants, balloons and wizards is not a good move... But, like already said, you're a good farmer and if you keep the pace you will get those troops done easily in TH9.
Anyway, how did you managed to farm that much DE?
Yeah same problem too,
I have all elixir based troops (except pekka) maxed now and I still have all spells to get to level 5.
On top of spells and pekka, I have...
- Minions lvl 3
- Hogs lvl 2
- Valk lvl 1
- Golem lvl 1
and I have 100 more skulls to go...
I am just going to go Th9 once walls are finished. No point wasting the precious builder days. I'm sure if you plan to max th9 there will be plenty of time to catch up on those troops a bit![]()
